Semi high-speed train ‘Vande Bharat’ express broke the record of the bullet train during its trial run between Mumbai and Ahmedabad by clocking the speed of 100 km/hr in 52 seconds.
During its trial run on the Ahmedabad-Mumbai route on Friday, the new upgraded Vande Bharat train was able to cover 491 km non-stop in five hours and 14 minutes with 130 kmph speed. There were no hiccups during the trial run, said a railway official here.
Once the train runs on the proper timetable with halts, it is expected to take less than 6 hours between two cities.
